Welcome back to Press Start! Put down all your work, it is time to zone out and chat about some gaming (it’s only Monday, your bosses practically expect it). This week I want to take a look at AAA titles and indie titles. I want to see why AAA titles are taking the huge amounts […]

There’s an adage amongst gamers that when it comes to long-running series, the first one any given person plays will always be their favourite. I don’t necessarily think that’s true in my case – the oft-cited example is the Final Fantasy series, and my favourite game in that series isn’t the first one I played. […]

While we were attending Gamescom we got to see the new expansion pack coming for The Sims 4 and we were very impressed. We also got the chance to meet the The Sims 4 director who clearly has a passion for The Sims, just like the players. Needless to say, she was absolutely lovely and was […]

Martial arts movies are not everyone’s bag. Some are committed fans of the genre, and some think that grouping these films under the term ‘genre’ is giving them too much credit. Yet for all the derision from those who aren’t fans, there is plenty from fans themselves. Hard though it might be for some to believe, not all martial […]

Welcome back to Press Start! This week’s article is a little late as I had to sleep off the chaos of Gamescom, which was an amazing experience. While I was there I got to play the new Gears of War: Ultimate Edition. This is basically the game remade for Xbox One. It got me thinking of […]

There’s ‘bad’, and then there’s ‘so bad it’s good’, where the lack of quality morphs something into being entertaining for a whole other set of reasons. Whenever there’s a concensus surrounding something being awful, the morbid curiosity within us always wonders if we’ll find it to be the latter instead of the former. This is […]

“I’ve… seen things… you people wouldn’t believe…” The first time I saw Blade Runner, I was too young to grasp a lot of what was going on. I was maybe 9 or 10 and back then it was little more than a flashy 80s action flick to me. I had no idea how important it was […]

Makeup can be fairly underrated when it comes to cosplay and I don’t really know why. It has a way of taking your cosplay up a notch. You may think a character has generic features but if you truly look at them, certain aspects start to pop out. Their thin brows may give them a more […]

In 2001, while I withered my youth away in secondary school, I picked up a little bit of an addiction.
